U.S. national government is a strong force constantly surrounding us. From the news cast you watch in the morning to the taxes you will be paying for your 3 A.M. craving. From the start, our national government was planned out and organized by our founding fathers. They had a certain goal in mind and did everything in their power to elongate the process for more generations to come. It was not at all easy with problems such as a flawed amendment process and constant money issues arising, but looking back...we've gotten this far.
Although strong, our national government has its downsides as well. One thing in particular is transparency. Our national government is very famous for being secretive and hiding their operations from the general public. The public is just as curious as someone working inside the white house. National government affects our lives and the daily activities we do as well. Along with transparency, we also need leaders who will initiate change and bring forth new ideas and plans to successfully operate our nation.
"President Obama is working to build a country and an economy where we reward hard work, value fairness, and where everyone is held accountable for what they do. He is meeting the challenges we face as a nation with a bold, comprehensive plan. And he is reimagining government to be more open, transparent, and accountable." (http://www.whitehouse.gov/issues) President Obama is a highly educated man and has many things for our future. America elected him for a reason and it is time for him to prove to his people that he was the correct choice.

Jocelyn, I agree with your post. Since we are living in a time where the government hides everything from us and needs to know everything about us, we need to depend on our president to bring a stop to this. Unfortunately, it seems like this isn't going to happen any time soon, but hopefully it will. President Obama needs to hear what the American people are saying.
I agree with your post, the public is curious to know how the National Government works. Mostly because the Government does good at hiding things from the public. I also couldn't agree more with your last statement. That Obama needs to step up and fulfill quite a few things. One of them being a more transparent Government.
I agree with what your saying in your post to a certain extent. Yes we are just as curious as the people working in the white house and yes they do keep a lot hidden from us but I thing they are doing right in not telling us every issue that goes on because a lot of us would probably not be able to handle the ugly truth. I also disagree with the fact that "President Obama is working to build a country and an economy where we reward hard work, value fairness, and where everyone is held accountable for what they do." I personally believe that Obama is just making it easier for those who don't want to work hard to move up in the economy my giving a lot more then what should be given when it comes to the unemployed. As long as the unemployed keep getting money from the government they have not motive to go look for a job when money is just being handed to them. But our government will never be perfect there will always be loop holes.
